What would you do if someone you loved had a serious problem that they were totally unaware of? Would you tell them? Even if you knew they might get defensive?
Of course you would, because, as Proverbs 27:6 (TLB) says, "Wounds from a friend are better than kisses from an enemy!"
Ever since we started studying the Book of Romans three weeks ago, the Spirit of God, through the apostle Paul, has been wounding us in order to heal us. But the area of our life that He has been targeting is so stubbornly resistant to exposure and excision that multiple applications of tough love are required.
Please remember, as we study Romans 2:12-3:20 this Sunday, that, even if it stings a little, there is joy on the other side of this intervention that will make us eternally grateful for such a faithful Friend.
